Improved application's UX

First major release. Improves application UX across screens, playlists, and rooms - remote screen management, playlist previews and custom durations.

Screens

  • Pairing improvements - The pairing code now shows a countdown timer so you always know how much time you have left before it expires. A bug causing codes to expire unexpectedly has also been fixed.
  • Screen identification - You can now trigger an identify signal on a connected screen to confirm which display you’re looking at.
  • Force reload - Added the ability to remotely reload a screen without physically touching the device it’s running on.
  • Smoother pairing flow - The add screen panel now closes automatically once a screen connects, and you can give a screen a name during the pairing process.

Playlists

  • Content preview - You can now preview content directly inside the edit dialog before saving changes.
  • Custom item duration - Set a specific display duration for individual playlist items.
  • Playlist preview - Preview your full playlist before it goes live.
  • Auto-open on add - When you add a new item to a playlist, the edit dialog opens automatically so you can configure it right away.
  • Drag and drop fix - Fixed an issue where reordering playlist items via drag and drop wasn’t working correctly.
  • Content edit dialogs - Redesigned with support for editing both the title and duration of a playlist item in one place.

Rooms

  • Room sidebar - Rooms are now accessible from the sidebar. You can pin or unpin any room for quick access. Rooms that are currently broadcasting are sorted to the top.
  • Broadcasting indicator - A signal icon appears on a room card when it’s actively broadcasting, so you can see at a glance what’s live.
  • New Room dialog - Redesigned dialog for creating a new room.
  • Breadcrumb navigation - Added breadcrumb navigation so it’s easier to track where you are in the app.
  • Player progress - The player now shows elapsed time for the currently playing item.
  • Sharing links updated - All in-app sharing links now point to the updated domain tv2bb.com.
  • Manual pairing code entry - The pairing code can now be entered manually.
  • Dark mode fix - Dialogs now render correctly
